Movie Shooting

Shooting Mode

The following four movie modes are available.

Standard

You can select the resolution and frame rate and record until the memory card is full (when a super high-speed memory card is used, such as the recommended SDC-512MSH). The digital zoom can be used while shooting in this mode. (p. 37)

Resolution: (640 x 480), (320 x 240)

Frame Rate: (30 frames/sec.), (15 frames/sec.)

Maximum Size: 1 GB/movie

Fast Frame Rate

Use this mode to record fast moving subjects, such as in sports photography.

Resolution: (320 x 240)

Frame Rate: (60 frames/sec.)

Maximum Clip Length: 1 minute

Compact

Since the resolution is low, this mode is convenient for sending movies as e-mail attachments or when the memory card capacity is low.

Resolution: (160 x 120)

Frame Rate: (15 frames/sec.)

Maximum Clip Length: 3 minutes

My Colors

You can change image colors and then shoot (p. 58). As with the Standard mode, you can also select the resolution and frame rate and record until the memory card is full (when a super high-speed memory card is used, such as the recommended SDC-512MSH).

Resolution: (640 x 480), (320 x 240)

Frame Rate: (30 frames/sec.), (15 frames/sec.)

Maximum Size: 1 GB/movie

The recording time will vary according to the capacity of the memory card you use (p. 117).
